I would add a local variable to assign boot_command_line to it just like
arm64 does. Then these lines could be shorter. 

	char *cmdline = boot_command_line;

The above conditional check isn't right. If crashkernel=size@offset
specified, the reservation failure won't trigger retry. This seems to be
originally introduced by old commit, while this need be fixed firstly.
